Why did you choose to enrol at Westminster City School’s Sixth Form?

I chose to enrol at Westminster City School’s Sixth Form because of its reputation of sending students to Russell Group Universities. Westminster City School is in the heart of London, resulting in many work opportunities from surrounding businesses. This Sixth Form also aids us with equipment such as brand new laptops for the entire year group which allows us to have vital resources to maximise the possibilities of being successful.

What are your future plans and aspirations?

I am hoping to study Biochemistry at Imperial College London. I would advise prospective students to take every opportunity that is available and to never give up on their aspirations, but to continue to persevere because that one special opportunity will come to you. Get involved in many different clubs both inside and outside of school, as this will allow you to grow and discover a variety of things.

This helps us to learn and grow beyond the classroom.

There is never a moment where I don’t feel supported and encouraged during my day at the Sixth Form.
